How can you tell the age of a guinea pig?

Answer 1

If there old they may become slower and lose hair on their head but if there young like 2 and stuff you may not be able to tell! I have a 2 year old piggy and he looks like hes 6 months old o:
by is face

Answer 2

"You really can't apply a formula for how many guinea pig years to one human year because guinea pigs mature much faster, they go through puberty a lot faster, in months.

I've heard that guinea pigs last 4 to 6 years. So lets say that 4 GP years is 100 H years, then 1 GP year is 25 human years, but I personally don't buy the ratio thing. It's better to say that once they hit their reproductive capability, then they are roughly 12-14 human years old."

Answer 3

You can estimate a guinea pig's age by looking at its physical characteristics. Young guinea pigs will have a smoother coat, be more active, and have clearer, brighter eyes. Older guinea pigs may have graying fur, develop cataracts, and move more slowly. You can also ask a veterinarian for a more accurate age assessment based on dental health and overall condition.

Answer 4

Im afriad there isn't rli any way you can tell! Only by what the breeder/seller tells you =)

Answer 5

You take it to the vet and they can give you a professional guess...and sometimes you can tell by there toenails...like if there toenails are thicker that mean they are adults and not babies.

Answer 6

What do you mean, pigs grow older by themselves!

Answer 7

By keeping track of age when they are born then you would know how old they are.

Answer 8

These animals can breed at a young age. That does not mean that they should. You should wait until the animal is a least 6 months old. This makes sure that the animal is ready for the litter.
